When Google suspends your profile, the calls from Maps stop — often overnight, with an email that barely says why. We find out what triggered it, fix what Google flagged and file the appeal with the evidence it asks for. You pay only if your profile comes back.

The first day after a suspension is when most owners accidentally hurt their own case. Hold off on these until you know the cause.
A second profile for the same business breaks Google's rules on its own, is likely to be flagged too, and starts you at zero reviews.
Changing the name, address and category together is one of the things that triggers reviews in the first place. Wait until the fix is planned.
An appeal that doesn't fix the problem gets denied, and your chances to try again are limited. Diagnose first, then appeal once, properly.
Keep the notice, the date it arrived and screenshots of your dashboard. They're the starting point for the appeal.
What you see on Google and in your dashboard tells us a lot about what happened and how to fix it.
| What happened | What you'll see | What it usually means |
|---|---|---|
| Profile removed from Maps | Your business is gone from Google Maps and Search, and Google emailed about a policy violation. | Google thinks the listing itself breaks its guidelines, often the address or the name. Needs a fix and an appeal with documents. |
| Still visible, but locked | The listing still shows, but your dashboard says it's suspended and you can't edit it. | Often an ownership or verification problem rather than the listing. Often fixed through reverification or an appeal. |
| Review restrictions | You can't get new reviews, existing ones are hidden, or customers see a warning that fake reviews were removed. | Google's fake engagement policy. It can be appealed, but the review practice behind it has to stop first. |
| Your Google account is restricted | Every profile you manage has problems, or you can't sign in to manage any of them. | An account-level issue. The account has to be sorted out before any profile appeal can go through. |
Google rarely tells you the exact reason, so the first step is always the same: compare the profile against Google's guidelines, line by line.
Home-service categories get more spam than most, so Google checks them hard. These are the usual triggers, and what we look at in every review.
Most of the work happens before the appeal is filed. That's what gives it a chance.
We read Google's notice and check your name, address, categories, website and listings against its guidelines. If your setup can't be reinstated as it is — a virtual office, for example — we tell you right away and explain the honest options.
Day 1We correct the profile and the mismatches around it, then gather the evidence Google accepts — registration, license, a utility bill or lease, photos of signage or vehicles — with names and addresses matching exactly.
Days 1–3We file through Google's appeals process and track it. Reviews often come back within about a week, but some take longer. If it's denied, we look at why before deciding on a second attempt.
Until Google decidesNo one can promise Google's decision, so we don't charge for one that goes against you. The review is free, nothing is due up front, and you pay $800 once your profile is back.
We find the cause, fix it and see the appeal through to Google's decision.
Start Local Lead Engine Core or Plus within 30 days of reinstatement and the $800 comes off the $1,000 setup.
“Reinstated” means your profile is back on Google Maps and you can manage it again. If our review says a case can't be won honestly, we'll tell you and won't take it on.
A newly reinstated profile is fragile. Several big edits in a row, a new manager added in a hurry or a burst of reviews can draw another look from Google, so the first few weeks call for slow, deliberate changes.
Most suspensions also trace back to how the profile was set up: the name, the address setting, the categories, the way reviews were collected. Fixing those for good is exactly what monthly Google Business Profile management does, which is why the $800 counts toward the setup if you start a plan within 30 days.
Whether you stay with us or not, you'll leave with a profile that follows Google's rules and a written note of what caused the suspension, so it doesn't happen again.
Send your business name, roughly when it happened and anything Google emailed you. Within 24 hours we'll tell you what we think caused it and whether we can help — no charge.
We'll review your online presence and follow up within 24 hours — no charge, no obligation.
